A recent issue of the Egyptian Gazette .contains .an Interesting account of the efforts which have been made by M. Gasprlnsky, the editor of the oldest Tartar newspaper in Russia, to intro duce among Mohammedans the pho netic system or teacning cnuareii to read, and write. By the new m.ethod children, instead of being taught to read by spelling out the names of the letters of, the Arabic alphabet, the sys tem used by Mohammedans generally, are taught at once to associate letters , with sounds and to form them into syl lables. - In thib way the average child can learn to read Intelligently, In 40 days, whereas under the old system tdx months or a year were-nequired, end even thfn the result left much to be desired. In the Crimea, in facf. . the mullahs who have adopted the new system -have found themselves com pelled to till In the time gained by giving Instruction in other &ubects. The 'system introduced by M.

Here, in addition to Z0 or 60 'children, three teachers are engaged In learning the system. M. Gasprlnsky was fortunate In finding In Bombay" a Mohammedan who knew-Turkish, and he took ad vantage of this gentleman knowledge by setting him to translate, his lesson book from Turkish into I'rdu and then to publish it. , ' Immediately after the opening of the school M.

J. Suffragettes Who Have Been ; Pestering Delegates Turn Out at Baltimore , . : BALTIMORE, June 28. Joan of Arc rode through the streets or. Baltimore fonight. Not the real Joan of old,' but the real Joan of the present Miss Ida Neepier. The city enjoyed the suffra gist demonstration, of which Miss Neepier was the central figure. r For days the women have been tak ing delegates to the convention by the lapel of their coats and whispering into their ears the wonderful things which will follow if a suffrage plank Is Inserted in the Democratic plat form. ' '. : '' Regardless of the .results of the women's campaign", delegates have found them exceedingly charming i to converse with, and, despite pressing convention duties,- turned out in large numbers to -watch the marchers pass: And the women 'were in earnest about the parade. In speeches from auto mobiles and carriages, by the distribu tion of literature and carrying motto bearing banners ;they proclaimed' to all who passed tfie suffragist require ment of the hour. Women want to vote. To bring their cause more forcefully to the attention of the convention city, they organized a parade, and, led by the reincarnated Joan, marched through the business section of the'jeity. I ; The parade started in Mount Vernon place and there., at the base of the monument of the father of their coun try, some mothers of the country and some daughters made speeches to mere men who gathered and looked at them in awe. But the women were not satisfied with merely being gazed at. They wanted to be listened to and taken seriously. j ' If men on the sidewalks had any objections to the cause of suffrage, they were invited to imediate debate, and if they had no objections to it they were invited or commandeered to pledge themselves to talk woman suf frage to all their men friends. There were no debates, and many j pledges. In fact, one man kept in sisting upon pledging himself to a very handsome woman in a gayly decorated automobile. He reiterated his pledge so often that finally he was ! given a ride in a less pretentious motor vehicle, and in the morning- a j Judge will doubtless make him take ' another kind of pledge. I I Miss Neepier, garbed in a white Tid- j ing suit, with a great cape of white, embro'dered with gold, rode a large ! white horse which, by his prancing j and cavorting made her a picturesque ! figure. She held-at arm's length a white banner with the inscription ! "Votes for women." j Behind her the parade stretched out. ' interspersed with bands of music:and ! displays of colored lights. ! s S $ a-, 4 q J The electric issue has caused much friction and the committee, un der authority of a vote cast by the men, pay declare a strike .unless the matter is amicably settled.
